Ipswich Town 1-1 Sunderland
- Published
New Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna was in the crowd prior to taking charge on Monday
High-flying Sunderland were held to an entertaining draw by mid-table Ipswich in League One.
James Norwood put the home side in front in added time at the end of the first half but Nathan Broadhead cancelled out Ipswich's lead early in the second period.
Ipswich, who had newly-appointed manager Kieran McKenna watching from the stands before he takes charge on Monday, had the lion's share of the opening exchanges and in the 10th minute Wes Burns' cross was fired over the bar by an unmarked Matt Penney.
Norwood gave the home side a deserved lead when Macauley Bonne's low cross looped up off a defender for the Ipswich forward to head home off the underside of the bar.
Broadhead levelled five minutes into the second half when he latched onto a pinpoint through ball from Dan Neil to fire home.
Ipswich substitute Kane Vincent-Young bent a low shot just wide of Sunderland's left-hand post before the visitors failed to make a flurry of late corners pay dividends as honours ended even.
